Where the rate came from
Every rate shows the sales it came from, how it was allocated, the paired sales that test it, and the range the comps support.
CompAdjuster
Site, living area, below grade, baths, garage and pool. Load your MLS export and your land sales, and each rate is derived from the comps you picked, shown with the evidence behind it, and written up in the addendum. You reconcile every figure.

Most adjustment support is either carried over from the last report or rebuilt in a spreadsheet on every assignment. Both work fine until someone asks to see the paired sales behind the number.
Every rate shows the sales it came from, how it was allocated, the paired sales that test it, and the range the comps support.
A range test shows whether the adjustment tightens the spread of your adjusted comps or just moves it. If it doesn't help, you'll see that before the reviewer does.
A two-page report PDF for the file and a workfile ZIP with everything behind it, both written while you work.
Subject, Site value, Comparables, Adjustments, Deliver. These are screenshots of the app at 1920 wide, running the sample market that comes with it, so you can open it and follow along.
Type in the subject and your comp search ranges work themselves out as you go: living area, price, year built and site, ready to paste into your MLS search so the export comes back in the right shape. Basement and pool open their own few fields only when the subject has them.
Every other rate rests on the site, so it comes first. Your land sales sit in a table and on a chart against the subject's lot size. Move the land rate until the site value is what you think this site is worth. The site adjustment blends the market method and the regression at the weights you pick, and if the land sales show no size trend, it tells you and uses the market method. No land sales? State a $/sf rate or a lot-to-value ratio, and the report records which basis you used. Condos skip the land analysis.
Drop in one export or several; a sale already in the table is skipped. Sold sales come in on, actives and pendings come in off. Click any figure to correct it. The MLS figure is kept under Your edits, and Reset to MLS puts it back. Untick a sale and every rate updates, so you can see how much weight any one comp was carrying.
Each line starts with a rate suggested from your comps. Keep it or type your own. Under it: the allocation, a sensitivity test, the middle half of what each comp indicates, and a range test showing whether the rate tightens your adjusted prices. Then the dollar adjustment every comp gets. The paired sales are one click down. Untick a line to leave it off the grid.
Your concluded rates, ready for the matching lines of the grid, and the adjustment commentary written from the figures on the page: what each rate rests on and how it was tested. It rewrites itself as figures change, until you edit it. Copy it into your report, or download the report PDF and the workfile.
Two downloads at the bottom of the last step: the Report PDF to attach to the report, and the Workfile ZIP with the full support report, the paired sales audits, the land sales and the comps behind every figure. Your report saves itself as you work.
The app measures and suggests. Which sales you use, which rate you conclude and which lines go on the grid stay your call, and the report shows what you decided.
MLS data isn't always what it seems. Before a figure goes into a rate, the app flags what doesn't look right, like a pool field that may describe the community pool instead of a private one. One click settles it.
The market method and the regression side by side, blended at the weights you choose, with what the rate means in dollars: a comp with a site 3,000 sf smaller gets +$2,250. Differences under your threshold aren't adjusted.
The sidebar keeps the site value and every concluded rate on screen from step to step, along with your comp search ranges.
No save button. Reopen a report weeks later for a revision with the subject, land sales, comps, corrections and rates exactly as you left them.
The report PDF is usually two pages: the schedule, the evidence for each rate and how each comp indicates it, then the commentary. Open the sample.
You reconcile each rate, and the file records how you got there.
Site from vacant land sales, with the site value alongside for the cost approach. Living area tested against paired sales. Below grade finished and unfinished. Baths per full bath, with half baths at 50%. Garage per space, and carport as a share of the garage rate. Pool for a private in-ground pool, when the sales hold enough pools to measure; otherwise the report says the comparison wasn't run.
Reports are saved to your account, so a revision weeks later reopens with its subject, land sales, comps and reconciled adjustments intact.
The subject, a CSV of your comparable sales from your MLS, and a site basis: land sales, or a land rate or lot-to-value ratio you state. Actives and pendings can come in with the sales; they're shown at your rates but never go into one.
The site value comes out of each sale first. What's left is allocated across the improvements, then each rate is tested against paired sales, a sensitivity check and whether it tightens the range of adjusted comps.
Every rate shows the sales it came from and the checks behind it. No outside data, no model trained on other appraisers' work. If the sales can't support a rate, it says so.
It works alongside your forms software. You carry the concluded rates to the grid in TOTAL, ACI, ClickForms or whatever you use, and attach the report PDF. For time adjustments, see MarketAdjuster.
No. It derives an indicated adjustment from the sales you give it and shows the data behind it. You reconcile it, change it or throw it out. The conclusion in the report is yours, and the exhibit shows how you got there.
Common layouts are recognized automatically. If a column can't be found, the app names it instead of failing quietly, and that field stays blank until the export includes it. If your board's export is unusual, send it over and we'll add it.
You need a site basis for anything with a lot, and land sales are the best one. Every physical rate comes from what's left of the sale price after the site value comes out, so a wrong site value puts the same error into GLA, below grade, baths, garage and pool at once.
Without land sales you can state a land rate per square foot or a lot-to-value ratio instead, and the exhibit says which basis you used. What the app won't do is pick one for you. Vacant lot sales don't have to be as recent as your comps.
Yes. Bring them in with the sold export. They land in the same table, switched off, and on the adjustments step you can see each one adjusted at your rates. They never go into a derived rate. A list price is the seller's opinion, so it stays out of the math behind GLA, below grade, baths and garage. If a file turns out to hold nothing but listings, the app tells you.
Yes. A condo has no separate site value, so the whole sale price is the residual and the app doesn't deduct a lot that isn't there. You set the property type on the first step, and a condo assignment skips the land analysis.
No. It doesn't fill out a URAR and won't. It works out the rates and writes the support. You enter the concluded figures on the grid in the forms software you already use, whether that's TOTAL, ACI, ClickForms, Aivre or Appraise-It.
That's the same under UAD 3.6. The new report asks you to show more of the support behind each rate, and the rates still have to come from your own market.
No. They're sold separately and neither depends on the other. They take different exports and answer different questions: time adjustments versus physical ones.
Your uploads are processed for your analysis, and your saved reports are stored in your own account so you can open them on any computer. Your data isn't sold and isn't pooled into anyone else's analysis.
No. The analysis is math you can follow: medians, paired sales tests, a chain-linked index and a regression check, all run on the sales you provide. Every number traces back to sales you can name, so you can explain it to a reviewer.
